Should highlighting work with all query types?

Highlighting does not seem to work with custom_score or boosting (and maybe
others, but these were the one I just tested).

Example (from https://gist.github.com/9f003179c02ebe9b69ae):

curl -XDELETE http://localhost:9200/test?pretty
curl -XPOST http://localhost:9200/test/my_type/1?pretty -d '
{
"foo": {
"bar": "this is bar"
}
}'

give es some time:

sleep 1

works as expected:

curl http://localhost:9200/test/_search?pretty -XPOST -d '{
"query": {"query_string": {"query":"bar"}},
"highlight": {"fields": {"foo.bar":{}}}
}'

does not highlight:

curl http://localhost:9200/test/_search?pretty -XPOST -d '{
"query": {
"boosting": {
"positive": {
"query_string": {
"query":"bar"
}
},
"negative": {"term": {"foo.bar": "baz"}},
"negative_boost": 0.9
}
},
"highlight": {"fields": {"foo.bar":{}}}
}'

does not highlight either:

curl http://localhost:9200/test/_search?pretty -XPOST -d '{
"query": {
"custom_score": {
"query": {
"query_string": {
"query":"bar"
}
},
"script": "_score"
}
},
"highlight": {"fields": {"foo.bar":{}}}
}'
